A measurement of W {yields} ev + n-jet cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab in Run II is presented. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 320 pb{sup -1}, and includes events with jet multiplicity from {ge} 1 to {ge} 4. In each jet multiplicity sample the differential and cumulative cross sections with respect to the transverse energy of the n{sup th}-leading jet are measured. For W + {ge} 2 jets the differential cross section with respect to the 2-leading jets invariant mass m{sub j{sub 1}j{sub 2}} and angular separation {Delta}R{sub j{sub 1}j{sub 2}} is also reported. The data are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo simulations.

The CDF Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section using 1992-93 collider data at 1.8 TeV. The CDF measurement is in very good agreement with NLO QCD predictions for transverse energies (E{sub T}) below 200 GeV. However, it is systematically higher than NLO QCD predictions for E{sub T} above 200 GeV.

Recent measurements of jet and multijet production cross sections from p{bar p} collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) are summarized. First Run II results of the inclusive one jet cross section at (square root)s = 1.96 TeV as well as prospects for future extensions of this measurement are presented. We also studied the properties of three-jet events in Run Ib data at (square root)s = 1.8 TeV. All results are compared to predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics at next-to-leading order perturbation theory.

In this thesis we present the study of the production of the W boson in association with hadronic jets at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). Along with the electroweak properties the W boson, we examine jet kinematic variables with the aim of studying predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics. We derive several di erential crosssections as a function of the inclusive jet multiplicity and the transverse momenta of each jet. In this analysis, we are using 2.8 fb-1 of data and consider both the electron and muon lepton nal states for the W boson decay.

The status of the CDF inclusive jet cross section measurement from the 1992--1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron is described. The E{sub T} range of the jets extends from 15 to 420 GeV. Corrections are made to the measured cross section to obtain a true transverse energy spectrum. The corrected cross section is compared with next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations and to the 1989 CDF data.

This contribution reports on preliminary measurements of the inclusive jet production cross section in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using data collected with CDF corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 385 pb−1. Two analyzes are presented: one uses the longitudinally invariant k{sub T} algorithm to reconstruct the jets, the other uses the midpoint algorithm. Both are limited to jets with rapidity in the range 0.1
